One of my lights is out.
None of my lights are on.
Check that you haven't turned it off with the
DCS controller. You have independent
control over lights on your powered car
Could be the same reason as “One of my
lights is out”
Is the powered car getting power? Check to
see if there is voltage on the track or move
the powered car a few feet in either
direction.
Lights
Solution
Motion
Solution
When I apply power and hit Start-up,
my powered car powers up but it won’t
move.
My powered car hesitates at slow
speeds.
This is normal, dial up the speed on your
DCS Remote to make your powered car
move.
An powered car may do this right out of the
box if it has not been lubricated. Follow the
lubrication instructions. Now go ahead and
run it.
New engines even after they are lubricated
may take a little bit to get everything run in.
Be a little patient and let it run for a bit. It
should clear up shortly after lubricating and
running.
TAS
Solution
When I enter TAS all that happens is
the bell rings. What do I do?
Why does my powered car run away
all by itself after the TAS is over?
Press the DIR button. Your powered car will
stop and begins the arrival sequence.
Pressing the DIR button will cycle you
through the next 3 TAS sequences
This is normal. The powered car will leave
the station at the same speed it entered
(when hit the TAS button). The speed
setting can be changed after the bell stops
ringing.
Shut Down
Solution
Okay, I give up. What do I have to do
to shut it down?
Well, you can either remove power from the
track or press or press Shut-Down. Button
on the DCS Remote
Lost or Unknown Address
Solution
I can't call up my powered car on the
address I believe it to be set at
Delete the powered car from your DCS
remote, and attempt to re-add it.
On the DCS Remote, hit Menu > System >
Engine Setup > Recover Engine
